" 'By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.' " Genesis 3:19
And now we have that all so familiar funeral line, "...dust to dust..." This verse is continuing what God told man in the previous verses, that the ground will be cursed and he'll have to work hard for his food. This brings to mind the expression, "blood, sweat, and tears." Blood isn't mentioned, but God is telling man there will be sweat (and possibly tears too).
If sin hadn't of entered the world, would there still be the cycle of
death and decay? Or would we all just be multiplying in Eden?
